职业教育与社会经济发展的关系及其相互作用途径

职业教育与经济发展密切相关，这是整个社会的共识。经济发展水平不仅影响着职业学校办学，更影响着个体对职业教育的选择与接受。没有一定的经济发展水平，职业教育的发展无论是自身的办学还是其生存环境都会受到很大的制约，而职业教育对经济社会发展的促进作用不仅仅是提供初次进入岗位的一般就业人员，而在于提供具有一定学习能力、掌握一定技术和具有技术含量技能的新增就业人员。因此，发展职业教育，不仅仅要看其规模的大小，更需要观察其有效供给问题。     

Measurement of the socio-economic status of Australian higher education students

The underrepresentation of persons from socio-economicallydisadvantaged backgrounds in higher education in countries such as Australia isof policy concern. In order to be able to identify such individuals fortargeted interventions and to monitor their participation rates, it is necessary to havean accurate, simple to administer, and relatively inexpensive method of measuringstudents' socio-economic characteristics.We demonstrate that the postcode methodology currently used bythe Australian Department of Education, Training and Youth Affairs (DETYA) formonitoring purposes, while being relatively simple and inexpensive toadminister, is subject to considerable error. A student is allocated the `average'socio-economic status (SES) of all persons living within their residential postcode area, butareas can contain a mix of people from low, medium and high socio-economicbackgrounds. In order to identify more accurately low SES students, we develop measuresbased upon the characteristics of individual students, rather than thecharacteristics of the area in which they reside.These new measures are based upon the results of theParticipation in Higher Education Survey. This survey was conducted in the second half of1997 and was based upon a sample of approximately 3000 first year studentsenrolled at a range of campuses throughout one Australian State. Our findings suggestthat individual-based measures relating to the occupation and education ofparents at the time when the student was in high school are appropriate for theclassification of both recent school leavers and mature aged students. Together, thesecharacteristics represent the family socio-economic situation while the studentwas attending secondary school.     

The typology of organizational effectiveness in Australian higher education

This paper briefly summarizes the new developments emerging from a major ongoing research program in Australia in higher education that tested and extended Cameron's dimensions of organizational effectiveness. Framed in this context, the paper then reports on the second national study in Australia to replicate earlier findings. The results confirm earlier findings and unequivocally establish the four-group typology that existed until recently. Finally, discussion includes consideration of micro and macro benefits of the framework with particular emphasis on recent structural changes to the Australian higher education system with reference to organizational culture and quality standards.This paper was prepared during a recent period as visiting professor in the School of Business at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada.

The effectiveness of teleconferencing in fostering interaction in distance education

A recent investigation indicates that using teleconferencing in teaching mathematics by distance education gives the students access to a flexible educational medium. Results confirm that this technology can support interaction between teacher and students similar to that in a conventional school. The investigation concludes that using teleconferencing in teaching mathematics by distance education gives the students access to education that, although different from that available in a traditional classroom, forms part of an effective teaching and learning environment. It also highlights the need to address pedagogical issues to maximise interaction within this environment.     

Integrating teacher education effectiveness research into educational effectiveness models

The purpose of this article is to review and to connect research about teacher education effectiveness and school effectiveness to arrive at an integrative conceptualization that has the potential of improving empirical research in both fields. Teacher education effectiveness addresses effects of teacher education on outcomes such as teacher knowledge, this knowledge becomes the predictor in teacher effectiveness research with instructional quality and student achievement as outcomes. The two research orientations become united in path-analytic studies. A fuller incorporation leads to an extended educational effectiveness model that enriches a systemic interpretation of key levers of educational effectiveness and opens up black boxes at the system and the classroom level. In such a comprehensive model, teacher policies can be regarded an alternative for educational improvement strategies like school curriculum policies, accountability and evaluation or governance and management. At the same time insights from educational effectiveness research at large suggest inclusion of additional variables in teacher education and teacher effectiveness research, particularly on the institutional level.     

Examining the effectiveness of affective education

Fourth-grade students in each of three classrooms were randomly assigned to either a treatment or a Hawthorne control group. The treatment consisted of participation in the Toward Affective Development program for 15 minutes a day, five days a week, over an 11-week period. A classroom teacher on temporary leave from the district conducted both the treatment and the series of art projects making up the Hawthorne control activities. Following treatment, self-report measures of social adjustment and self-concept were administered to between 42 and 50 students, depending on the number of absences from school on any given posttesting day. No treatment effects were noted, regardless of sex or class membership. Present findings were discussed in relation to five recent affective educational program evaluation studies. Four variables (degree of facilitator training, Hawthorne control, self-report dependent measures, and subject age) were identified as potentially strong moderators of program impact on social adjustment and self-concept. Finally, conditions that may maximize student gain in future research were suggested.

The use and effectiveness of interactive progressive drawing in anatomy education

Anatomical relationships are challenging concepts for first‐year medical students. The use of progressive drawing, where an image is created from a blank template, has long been utilized for outlining anatomical relationships and continuity from one region to another, and has shown positive outcomes for student learning. More recently, computerized progressive drawing has been introduced; however, challenges, including issues with visual clarity, have been described. In this study, 17 computerized screencasts of drawings covering neurovasculature of the limbs, abdomen, pelvis, head, and neck were created and provided to first‐year medical students at Morehouse School of Medicine. An animated method for drawing was utilized to increase visual clarity. Surveys were provided to 181 first‐year medical students to collect feedback about these screencasts. Sixty percent (n = 108) of students completed at least one survey. Respondents rated all 17 screencasts with a minimum of 4.7/5 for helpfulness in learning the material for course examinations. A majority of students (77.8%) reported viewing the screencasts more than once on at least one survey, and students reported varying methods for utilizing the screencasts. A majority of students provided positive feedback relating to technical quality. Some significant differences in course performance were seen based on screencast usage. The positive responses from students indicate that this is a useful method in medical education. Anat Sci Educ 11: 445–460. © 2018 American Association of Anatomists.

The effectiveness of learning analytics for identifying at-risk students in higher education

Abstract

In this article we investigate the effectiveness of learning analytics for identifying at-risk students in higher education institutions using data output from an in-situ learning analytics platform. Amongst other things, the platform generates ‘no-engagement’ alerts if students have not engaged with any of the data sources measured for 14 consecutive days. We tested the relationship between these alerts and student outcomes for two cohorts of first-year undergraduate students. We also compared the efficiency of using these alerts to identify students at risk of poorer outcomes with the efficiency of using demographic data, using widening participation status as a case study example. The no-engagement alerts were found to be more efficient at spotting students not progressing and not attaining than demographic data. In order to investigate the efficacy of learning analytics for addressing differential student outcomes for disadvantaged groups, the team also analysed the likelihood of students with widening participation status generating alerts compared with their non-widening participation counterparts. The odds of students with widening participation status generating an alert were on average 43% higher, demonstrating the potential of such a system to preferentially target support at disadvantaged groups without needing to target directly based on immutable factors such as their socio-economic background.
